Sugar Sweetened to His Taste.

A story is told of groceryman of
the shrewd old Yankee stock, who on
several occasions was surprised to find
sums of money in his sugar. Where it
came from was a mystery. 1t may
have been hidden by the slaves for
some purpose. but for what it would
be hard to say. i he storekeeper, being
too conscientious to keep the money
without trying to find an owner, and
likewise being very loath to give it up,
hit upon this plan to satisfy conscience
and keep the money. Going to the
merchants of whom he purchased the
goods he inquired whether they were
responsible for the sticks and stones
that were in it.
"No, sir" was the reply; "you must
take the regular sugar as we received
it. We are not responsible for any
thing in the barrels.
1t is needless to say that the store
keeper d d not press the matter.

ACCORDING to recent experiments,
the vitality of the teeth seems to be al
most as great as that of seeds. DIR. w.
j. Younger. in recent paper read be-
fore the California Dental Society,
describes the planting of a bicuspid
tooth, which had been extracted year
before. No care had been taken OF the
tooth, it having been carried about for
time in a travelling bag, and part OF
the time shufled about in a bureau
drawer. To all appearances, the tooth
was dry and void OF vitality. On soak
ing it in warm water for half an hour,
however. and then placing it in the
cavity of the jaw, the tooth soon be-
came firmly fixed, and on the twelfth
day was firmly united, a true vital CON
nection having, it is said, been estaD,
lished between the living environment
of gum and the alveolar substance. But
it may be q case of encysting, as OF
